"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.664Please respect copyright.PENANAEL2ZatE0it
664Please respect copyright.PENANAZd6qwBun3n
Everyone's attention automatically turned to me. They all fell silent. I read out the lyrics first then sang them out.
"So, what do you think?" I asked, addressing the question towards BAP.664Please respect copyright.PENANA1T4T1p8ugr
664Please respect copyright.PENANA7INBBn6hR5
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."664Please respect copyright.PENANA5ntiMZP0XY
664Please respect copyright.PENANAH1gb2Frquk
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."664Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gh9TsL0wT
664Please respect copyright.PENANAr4rkozEsfw
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."664Please respect copyright.PENANArpC5bh0SNL
664Please respect copyright.PENANADvbBscNRnV
"I now get what Daniel said," said Zelo, "the song is meant to be sad, but it's fun to sing. You can hear it with the way Sam sang it out."664Please respect copyright.PENANAxsXKmMW1ic
664Please respect copyright.PENANAZzP19Elcm9
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."664Please respect copyright.PENANA0h5BXhxbpP
664Please respect copyright.PENANA49OCLUtjPX
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.664Please respect copyright.PENANAubbMIywHHV
664Please respect copyright.PENANA8FZbJafXFA
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."664Please respect copyright.PENANAj9lIhzOo6z
664Please respect copyright.PENANALYWCUfWQQR
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."664Please respect copyright.PENANA75SyAGu59D
664Please respect copyright.PENANAKL672KVTcg
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."664Please respect copyright.PENANAs2m3cJuTY7
664Please respect copyright.PENANAoKXVJnB48j
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."664Please respect copyright.PENANA03c1tpm78k
664Please respect copyright.PENANABLV5dBMMz8
I positioned the guitar properly before me with my crossed legs supporting it. Before I started to strum the strings, I took in a deep breath. I played out the tune first. Afterwards, I started to sing out the chorus. It wasn't long so it ended sooner than expected.664Please respect copyright.PENANAFpM8AzZgZj
664Please respect copyright.PENANAhbVyTIjow1
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."664Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3RSY2LVe1
664Please respect copyright.PENANABt4Xzr8Qb1
"Thanks," I said. "Oh, before I forget," I reached out for the pencil on the table and started to write something down. "We also worked on the first verse, but we couldn't finish it up yesterday. We were having a little trouble with the words so we want to see what you guys think."664Please respect copyright.PENANAwTWXPQQnp7
664Please respect copyright.PENANAqSkc46XdS1
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."664Please respect copyright.PENANA3YaIwp9nXR
664Please respect copyright.PENANA5CbzUO6byd
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."664Please respect copyright.PENANATSDx4vVgnb
664Please respect copyright.PENANAlwOhCkj1U3
"There you go again, Christine," I said after writing down the lyrics. "Okay, here we are." I laid down the pencil aside on the table.664Please respect copyright.PENANABQYp5Q7cMc
664Please respect copyright.PENANAenLHsjlAmp
I felt Jongup lean closer so as to see what I had written. I leaned to the side a little, but his blond hair almost covered my face. I couldn't help but take a sniff. His hair smelt really nice. Well, this seems unusual. I tried to lean away further so as not to smell him.664Please respect copyright.PENANA2r7qCv1iD9
664Please respect copyright.PENANA8SxKefi2bJ
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."664Please respect copyright.PENANASSLF492e6e
664Please respect copyright.PENANAkSquj9JYEZ
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAa4u1v3j83J
664Please respect copyright.PENANArr8M6PPPss
It's when he turned his head to look at me that I yelped and leaned back further than before, almost falling to the floor. Instead, I ended up leaning on Yong-nam.664Please respect copyright.PENANAYp0KinSLy4
664Please respect copyright.PENANA8RcxvN8zGD
Jongup looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. It's either he didn't know what he was about to do or he knew and was just playing dumb.664Please respect copyright.PENANA1JnLjEvkSm
664Please respect copyright.PENANABkfiWquMY3
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANA6PEINdDMjf
664Please respect copyright.PENANAIxQUE5ySrH
I suddenly blushed. He really didn't know that he had almost planted a kiss on me. Anyway, it's best not to tell him. I hope the others hadn't noticed.664Please respect copyright.PENANAcgkSLxssAn
664Please respect copyright.PENANA7nanmKv0ei
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."664Please respect copyright.PENANALFDVUEoC8X
664Please respect copyright.PENANAZGDgmyTZbR
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!664Please respect copyright.PENANAzbPlzmgJlK
664Please respect copyright.PENANA8PxwmOhAom
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAMIRd3BL93K
664Please respect copyright.PENANALGMZ2boRHF
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.664Please respect copyright.PENANAUHK0fkGu23
664Please respect copyright.PENANAeppGR5Rzww
"Oh...," Jongup turned to look at me. I was still leaning onto Yong-nam's shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Sam. Maybe I shouldn't have leaned in too close."664Please respect copyright.PENANA9xcY3KSU8f
664Please respect copyright.PENANAl4tSncmEYB
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.664Please respect copyright.PENANAUzBfrjQz1q
664Please respect copyright.PENANAr5IHZiY4Ld
"No, I'm okay," I said as I sat upright. "Sorry for leaning on you like that, Yong-nam. I hope I'm not too heavy."664Please respect copyright.PENANAmYOjJurwKT
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQ41Rhjy8cn
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."664Please respect copyright.PENANAiAXyl9xdmX
664Please respect copyright.PENANAx1DsjuSm9W
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.664Please respect copyright.PENANAq7fFkEwC0D
664Please respect copyright.PENANAc5TjTi4FP8
"Wow," said Zoey as she delightfully clapped her hands together. "First Sam avoids Jongup from kissing her and then she leans onto Yong-nam who prevents her from falling. So sweet."664Please respect copyright.PENANAXGF4wZcIeR
664Please respect copyright.PENANAxXkJP5ibec
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.664Please respect copyright.PENANAoN7E7FFc61
664Please respect copyright.PENANAaoGjMK7dVs
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"664Please respect copyright.PENANADdvGvsi68z
664Please respect copyright.PENANAU2SJMgrohj
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."664Please respect copyright.PENANAaN5KzntEms
664Please respect copyright.PENANAOQoeV0JbBJ
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.664Please respect copyright.PENANAMJcbD1JSjN
664Please respect copyright.PENANA98oZq74blX
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."664Please respect copyright.PENANA4oUJJLIO0z
664Please respect copyright.PENANAaARnmjHw8k
I went back to looking at the paper in front of me and read out the lyrics for them. Just like we did with BAP's song, we started coming up with lyrics. But this time, it proved to be a lot difficult than we expected. Whatever we came up with didn't really fit with the song.664Please respect copyright.PENANAXx2C3u2teh
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQnr7WZ3IM8
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANAYnIlOYNpa3
664Please respect copyright.PENANAL1vAn7Zi3C
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.664Please respect copyright.PENANA4lifBadfCq
664Please respect copyright.PENANA8VhuniLHBK
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANAd8W8TpAuxR
664Please respect copyright.PENANAZwCE70U3kE
"I told you we should've rewired her brain a little," said Mike as he turned to look at me. I shook my head. Zoey on the other hand, ignored him. That's so unlike her.664Please respect copyright.PENANAJnuHI7Z4JX
664Please respect copyright.PENANAnNizrAjUfY
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.664Please respect copyright.PENANA7iOeGQ3Vlu
664Please respect copyright.PENANAcUT8XlRvFE
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.664Please respect copyright.PENANAcykvKZ2LdP
664Please respect copyright.PENANAPiZYzx1wi9
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."664Please respect copyright.PENANAeoMAZhVmLJ
664Please respect copyright.PENANASGZ1AMBVnG
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANA2O74fuRB5y
664Please respect copyright.PENANA25RmiuQzRc
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"664Please respect copyright.PENANABKM9Cp4kiR
664Please respect copyright.PENANAmHE7PYAu5Z
I shrugged my shoulders as I also couldn't figure out why we found it so difficult. I scratched the back of my head and pouted my lip a little.664Please respect copyright.PENANAJrv8YRsTqn
664Please respect copyright.PENANApUUi3ofndv
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.664Please respect copyright.PENANAHa6QX84O1w
664Please respect copyright.PENANAuOnp9Q8q2J
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."664Please respect copyright.PENANAq69hmXJPPz
664Please respect copyright.PENANAEyEpbVD0kj
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.664Please respect copyright.PENANAsj9eIVtBPv
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXOBTOpCLtt
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.664Please respect copyright.PENANARiXnEyoKl8
664Please respect copyright.PENANANC7cwk9CvV
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."664Please respect copyright.PENANAdd0XGEdaPy
664Please respect copyright.PENANAGr8FW9I7UE
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.664Please respect copyright.PENANAs1Q0EtrgJD
664Please respect copyright.PENANAE6WlPx8Lvi
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.664Please respect copyright.PENANAhJxeIvBr71
664Please respect copyright.PENANAzacIBSuyxJ
He raised his arms up to stretch. As soon as he put them down, he said, "I think we're all just tired. We exhausted ourselves working on BAP's piece and thought we would do the same with this one. If you ask me, we should just call it a day and continue tomorrow."664Please respect copyright.PENANAGa7VbJueYT
664Please respect copyright.PENANABjLAspzkBb
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"664Please respect copyright.PENANADFZYk1vTeg
664Please respect copyright.PENANAs375lYuwcA
"You're right," I said as I slapped my forehead. "We've to meet the songwriters and composers for the album. We won't have enough time."664Please respect copyright.PENANAnETcTFvpYI
664Please respect copyright.PENANAkxtjtEyhOp
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.664Please respect copyright.PENANAoQSMEQnSXH
664Please respect copyright.PENANAm3XOYKLnPS
"I told Collins to buy me more time, but I doubt Yang Hyun-suk will even want to hear it. Goodness, just thinking about it feels overwhelming." I buried my face into my hands.664Please respect copyright.PENANAEKG4ygGDz8
664Please respect copyright.PENANAPE3uRnobO4
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.664Please respect copyright.PENANA2U0XHWXTsv
664Please respect copyright.PENANA5CYbZkwd0L
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANAfODQpltzqz
664Please respect copyright.PENANAaDrL41jkeW
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."664Please respect copyright.PENANAXlmUqD1bJB
664Please respect copyright.PENANA8aZcFydOGN
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.664Please respect copyright.PENANAri3vrOnXNA
664Please respect copyright.PENANAkAWyCgONu5
"But you heard what Collins said this morning, Zoey. This one has to be awesome. But the way we're so exhausted, I feel we aren't going anywhere."664Please respect copyright.PENANAglJHODUW3Y
664Please respect copyright.PENANA86Ftx1yB8V
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.664Please respect copyright.PENANAwarMBwfCUd
664Please respect copyright.PENANAdqp1appc6C
I went back first onto the floor with my eyes closed. I really did feel exhausted. Why did fatigue have to settle in like this?664Please respect copyright.PENANADr1RHX41AZ
664Please respect copyright.PENANAKWegFMq8zZ
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.664Please respect copyright.PENANAdHBoD52ePI
664Please respect copyright.PENANAfcHE50CFyr
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."664Please respect copyright.PENANAYJR0S1ihU9
664Please respect copyright.PENANAAhFjQSclq2
I smiled a little at what Zoey said. Starting something and not finishing it really is frustrating, especially if it involves something that you really love to do. And with time ticking by, Yang Hyun-suk and Collins will have no choice but to be disappointed tomorrow.664Please respect copyright.PENANAfRus8QVSMl
664Please respect copyright.PENANAk1CTr2sAYA
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.664Please respect copyright.PENANAvo33V2BreL
664Please respect copyright.PENANAEEOQiGLT2B
I opened my eyes as I remembered Daesung's invitation. I really wish I could tell them the truth, but I held my tongue. Even if we leave this place without much progress, Lee won't hold us back because it isn't much of a reward, but an invitation to go out for an outdoor movie. I sat up.664Please respect copyright.PENANAGh639qnIoe
664Please respect copyright.PENANALVpue6xysg
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."664Please respect copyright.PENANAkB0VWK08qH
664Please respect copyright.PENANArq7PJVPTCw
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.664Please respect copyright.PENANA3rFJGnYSAv
664Please respect copyright.PENANA5hOXLZoEUJ
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.664Please respect copyright.PENANAWxXc6vVH2i
664Please respect copyright.PENANAdvKb3RVrw6
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANAutlUMrAKtY
664Please respect copyright.PENANAcb8a191peA
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.664Please respect copyright.PENANA6I9oHsJTZH
664Please respect copyright.PENANA2mb1ebZYd1
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAPBH0CwYpX0
664Please respect copyright.PENANAWE979PjDFC
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.664Please respect copyright.PENANAn23F5pqaxL
664Please respect copyright.PENANAcZrR91wq5h
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.664Please respect copyright.PENANAzKvVqD6zTj
664Please respect copyright.PENANAe8DHCMI1q7
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.664Please respect copyright.PENANAcAM6lDMbPM
664Please respect copyright.PENANAEWSnB9D5My
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."664Please respect copyright.PENANAHsNOJjtZvR
664Please respect copyright.PENANASlALfg2PUE
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.664Please respect copyright.PENANAMtBLcRdsEb
664Please respect copyright.PENANAux9c3223f4
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."664Please respect copyright.PENANAl7OFLkMTiC
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQHdx6g3ncr
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"664Please respect copyright.PENANA45xsCrd4RT
664Please respect copyright.PENANAz5uh1jj7Oq
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.664Please respect copyright.PENANAieyA9UdAfj
664Please respect copyright.PENANAmkzjBBOlOd
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.664Please respect copyright.PENANAV6SYwtvMUP
664Please respect copyright.PENANASdzLUjuWfX
"Don't bother," I said as I closed my eyes. "With us not under her radar anymore she's probably doing something for herself right now."664Please respect copyright.PENANAgYcGMEorcH
664Please respect copyright.PENANAve9ix2BHj5
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.664Please respect copyright.PENANAoxhZxP0LEu
664Please respect copyright.PENANAOCrRoLYyNJ
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.664Please respect copyright.PENANAs4NJIQ7aD6
664Please respect copyright.PENANAOqgWuRAsav
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."664Please respect copyright.PENANAIHBcQbYYET
664Please respect copyright.PENANAJF76xh1kzB
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.664Please respect copyright.PENANA1R4ng4jxzt
664Please respect copyright.PENANA64xcTxvsjS
"Well, we don't want to," said Zoey. I imagined her folding her arms and looking at me like she would at Mike when he got her angry.664Please respect copyright.PENANA36Kg3Qm7RT
664Please respect copyright.PENANAcoI8qPEUgI
I smiled. "Suit yourself."664Please respect copyright.PENANADXnseZQ8bs
664Please respect copyright.PENANAOIlZvxGLIC
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.664Please respect copyright.PENANANvXIInprkG
664Please respect copyright.PENANAuac0hCAqEw
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.664Please respect copyright.PENANAcNuy5dP296
664Please respect copyright.PENANA29s0eQtUjy
"I agree," said Zoey.664Please respect copyright.PENANA8lmQ2LgfSy
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXpVDGjkIXJ
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.664Please respect copyright.PENANAdMHV9PFNIh
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXpAl2DP9qX
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.664Please respect copyright.PENANAwtsniIJEEC
664Please respect copyright.PENANAPlLsqMDNDL
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.664Please respect copyright.PENANA8lzX7R6JIP
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQCvIboVcxV
"I might not agree with all this," Mike started to say, "but I'm going through with Sam's idea. I'm just going to lean back on the couch a little."664Please respect copyright.PENANAQT6LrxSadA
664Please respect copyright.PENANAYA3eVJg5CC
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.664Please respect copyright.PENANA95HBntOUp5
664Please respect copyright.PENANAIOuqZVjLs8
"Quit it, Zoey." I heard him move on the couch, obviously putting himself in a more comfortable position. "There's nothing to do. Why not relax for a bit?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8Foe0muYI
664Please respect copyright.PENANAU3LXxHlj35
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."664Please respect copyright.PENANArRrJbM9Wj4
664Please respect copyright.PENANAeVefYQAys7
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAwgxVZ8lnjY
664Please respect copyright.PENANALgDWUbucwD
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.664Please respect copyright.PENANAmu6QohZTkN
664Please respect copyright.PENANAFxsc8dpqgL
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANAj9wAOFk3yd
664Please respect copyright.PENANAgm2xIuPWfE
"Our song, of course."664Please respect copyright.PENANANAP4txj44X
664Please respect copyright.PENANAMSx5RoWVPf
"You go ahead and do that," I said.664Please respect copyright.PENANA87aUJHBi0g
664Please respect copyright.PENANAo8Bc0NxNsS
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.664Please respect copyright.PENANA8xWAocEQmV
664Please respect copyright.PENANAiCsyOtRiHk
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.664Please respect copyright.PENANAKJfdXMAdrp
664Please respect copyright.PENANAGMuK3XvHVH
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.664Please respect copyright.PENANAYw25Vq1Afl
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXtehB27mz6
"I'm drained," I said as I closed my one eye and placed my open palm under my head. "As exciting as it sounds, I'll pass."664Please respect copyright.PENANAJw9FnME6Oz
664Please respect copyright.PENANA3sTbVlH8Io
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAlHiPNMZgKf
664Please respect copyright.PENANA4zlXJXZYRX
"I'll pass too," said Mike.664Please respect copyright.PENANAtclfM5YGAU
664Please respect copyright.PENANA56P7rzsbNB
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAJbixPfbxUD
664Please respect copyright.PENANAT7XmCPg7Ly
"Well...," Zelo sounded hesitant and I heard a scratching sound across the table. I imagined he was scratching his head, wondering whether to go or not. "Me too," he finally said. "I don't feel like working on the song right now."664Please respect copyright.PENANAhF8sWQfHx8
664Please respect copyright.PENANAvM2dvELBpc
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.664Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Y8htkDLz
664Please respect copyright.PENANAZXkAo4lTy0
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.664Please respect copyright.PENANAmVy29YoXIB
664Please respect copyright.PENANAog8gGObwt4
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."664Please respect copyright.PENANAJq4IquzbGn
664Please respect copyright.PENANAWW0tHvOfVp
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAoF8V47gbyj
664Please respect copyright.PENANADczZStbrnq
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 664Please respect copyright.PENANACjosRd5jf4
664Please respect copyright.PENANAZev7RVPGhg
I shrugged. "At first I was, but right now, I need to relax a little before my brain explodes. Don't let me stop you from working on your song."664Please respect copyright.PENANAEb17dTEIWb
664Please respect copyright.PENANA6rYRE4w2GP
"Alright, then," said Yong-nam as he also slept on the floor. "Looks like I can also rest. Keeping your eyes on time can be tiring too."664Please respect copyright.PENANAQTkrgrecHb
664Please respect copyright.PENANA10gToJzP0J
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.664Please respect copyright.PENANALdTIKCcz7j
664Please respect copyright.PENANAjUxZFY70Eu
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.664Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ7kWG6zcB
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQJweEmzk87
"I'm going to join the relaxing spree too," said Jongup, as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and slept on the floor beside me.664Please respect copyright.PENANA5JNrJoMETi
664Please respect copyright.PENANACChhMbmHVL
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.664Please respect copyright.PENANADLdozwXRfH
664Please respect copyright.PENANAnm2SruloEL
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.664Please respect copyright.PENANAtmFqv4ggYj
664Please respect copyright.PENANAzR51l9z5d2
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.664Please respect copyright.PENANATJTqkw9iIH
664Please respect copyright.PENANA9GGzKhXitA
I lifted my head from the floor to see what Daniel's doing. He had his phone out too and tapping at it. He's probably playing a game.664Please respect copyright.PENANAe1eJhekRpi
664Please respect copyright.PENANANrt92hAJXB
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."664Please respect copyright.PENANAYxYQeF8o79
664Please respect copyright.PENANAsx8MDtj3Da
I shook my head at him as I put my head back on the floor. I looked beside me and saw Jongup on Instagram looking at cute cat videos. I turned the other side to see Yong-nam with his arm over his face, covering his eyes. He did seem just as tired as all of us. He did help come up with some lyrics, so no argument there.664Please respect copyright.PENANAik4aXVx3yc
664Please respect copyright.PENANAymk2Enl3TN
I heard Zoey sigh and that brought a smile across my face. "I give up," she said. "I haven't been on Twitter lately. Time to see what's going on in the world."664Please respect copyright.PENANAqEkV96Ekni
664Please respect copyright.PENANAO1TvbKbaGx
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.664Please respect copyright.PENANABGBEWbNTZF
664Please respect copyright.PENANAEXtWbHXP5O
Everyone seemed to be busy doing their own things now. I counted Jongup, Daniel, Young-jae and Zoey on their phones. Daehyun, Himchan and Zelo were engaged in a conversation. Even when Mike was resting on the couch, he seemed to be contributing whenever he can. Christine, Yong-nam and I were really the ones resting as we closed our eyes.664Please respect copyright.PENANAbxA5I4rVvV
664Please respect copyright.PENANA0zC0peqk2T
I heard someone stand up and guessed it was Yong-guk. I could hear footsteps head towards the other side of the room where the recording booth and console were. He seemed serious with what he wanted to do. I continued to lay there on the floor, hoping that I don't fall asleep.664Please respect copyright.PENANA9R7ssRIzKf
664Please respect copyright.PENANAw3OIgM6az6
I found myself slowly imagining about the outdoor movie we were going to watch. Will it be an oldies movie? I would love to watch such. It just sets you in the mood when it has to.664Please respect copyright.PENANAuX3MyfRcnw
664Please respect copyright.PENANABEvcyQIO96
I heard Jongup chuckle to himself and I knew he's still on his cat videos. A thought crossed my mind. Here I am thinking of the outdoor movie when I should be thinking about the song. I don't feel like dwelling on it. Now is the time to relax, nothing more.664Please respect copyright.PENANAaiOdy9hfQf
664Please respect copyright.PENANAL8gsTNrg09
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAI2FmIwEELH
664Please respect copyright.PENANAIcDhx42a0a
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"664Please respect copyright.PENANANZSaIqMkIk
664Please respect copyright.PENANAw31D2HS27t
"Watch this," he said as he scooted closer that our heads nearly touched. He held his phone up for the two of us to see. We watched a cute cat video where a little white and brown kitten was chasing a movable toy mouse on the floor. It was cute and yet funny at the same time as the kitten tried so many times to capture it. Jongup and I laughed.664Please respect copyright.PENANAfCiiBNO6b1
664Please respect copyright.PENANAsLRXaNFPZI
"Oh, my," I said as I wiped away the tears in my eyes. "The little kitten really struggled. But you've to admit, it's so cute."664Please respect copyright.PENANAa2I0jOrfw6
664Please respect copyright.PENANAat0raudFZ1
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."664Please respect copyright.PENANAQAHaZr7uhc
664Please respect copyright.PENANAgTitBaruic
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.664Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4JPhgikcB
664Please respect copyright.PENANA5hjgBr9HxZ
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.664Please respect copyright.PENANAn9XCpevzg5
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQP0p5UeKQc
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"664Please respect copyright.PENANALjDq7UIQY8
664Please respect copyright.PENANAhVOeghqXZl
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."664Please respect copyright.PENANATEIaC6NlOi
664Please respect copyright.PENANA4HD8t5gGLQ
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"664Please respect copyright.PENANA0v05RBVZr9
664Please respect copyright.PENANA8uKEXZgaxP
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAXrpRyhDIii
664Please respect copyright.PENANASvBJJ8GKgQ
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."664Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dmij7oysS
664Please respect copyright.PENANAlAhbwaSk8y
"Too bad we lost. But it was fun. We should've one one of these days. That's if we could even make the time for it."664Please respect copyright.PENANAJmO67cOdGN
664Please respect copyright.PENANAANrSoHWPjT
"Oh, you've an album to work on."664Please respect copyright.PENANAbUsUxDeOWO
664Please respect copyright.PENANA0tpCreTjWI
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.664Please respect copyright.PENANAOjPLibIf92
664Please respect copyright.PENANABqI9mpzgNR
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANAtJZW0GO7Kf
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQSyEfb3rSi
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.664Please respect copyright.PENANAow1arZ8zGS
664Please respect copyright.PENANAwZBTSunocl
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.664Please respect copyright.PENANAsEo8lCZxlL
664Please respect copyright.PENANALjUhLlZYOt
"Why not do so now?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAlxM79kg6Y0
664Please respect copyright.PENANAHMDqZ4OcfM
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.664Please respect copyright.PENANARkOKKo1CTx
664Please respect copyright.PENANAnKHKR2cAzw
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."664Please respect copyright.PENANAg0UnC6grnK
664Please respect copyright.PENANAz6yUIRoAik
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.664Please respect copyright.PENANAuwnRgSjZm3
664Please respect copyright.PENANAK05mVc5moL
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAZErRJXqlgF
664Please respect copyright.PENANA6BCnC23eBH
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.664Please respect copyright.PENANApmkGiIWg2y
664Please respect copyright.PENANA7iFGaUAxvj
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.664Please respect copyright.PENANAXUJGuHZjdH
664Please respect copyright.PENANAuL0aivia5a
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."664Please respect copyright.PENANAxguwPgXDxZ
664Please respect copyright.PENANAZP17KZuRdW
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."664Please respect copyright.PENANApVQz5f9C1E
664Please respect copyright.PENANAhp3Nq7ItXO
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."664Please respect copyright.PENANAQn5hFuxnnY
664Please respect copyright.PENANAsap60mQ86I
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.664Please respect copyright.PENANAOEh3yEvR4i
664Please respect copyright.PENANArkVJcl36uY
"And what if the BAP members were?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAoxNUDLtenw
664Please respect copyright.PENANAopYjfZkG9o
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."664Please respect copyright.PENANA3TnzlRRDMi
664Please respect copyright.PENANAvTStbsO1qW
"Me too," said Young-jae.664Please respect copyright.PENANAi1fuRpUAXx
664Please respect copyright.PENANAvKpN5Mf7hT
"Me three," said Zelo.664Please respect copyright.PENANAxmO77wGBKp
664Please respect copyright.PENANA3fpWHGqKCD
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.664Please respect copyright.PENANAapkF5pUlbV
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXdEnw5Gnat
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.664Please respect copyright.PENANAYCyXCLc74O
664Please respect copyright.PENANAfjMFwnRma8
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.664Please respect copyright.PENANAlycdA1uKXI
664Please respect copyright.PENANAmHilVdOW57
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."664Please respect copyright.PENANAwp8jD3m7xc
664Please respect copyright.PENANAx20KuLDLhH
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."664Please respect copyright.PENANAzdPIwV3YBd
664Please respect copyright.PENANASBEQ6ENLL8
"What did you say!?"664Please respect copyright.PENANADh9K4TjB7m
664Please respect copyright.PENANA4psvFAeMYV
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."664Please respect copyright.PENANAByPB8nw2MJ
664Please respect copyright.PENANABaAuFEw7rp
I turned to look at Yong-nam beside me and saw him move his arm above his eyes. He had one eye open. He turned his eye to look at me. I almost yelped. I felt embarrassed that he had caught me looking at him. The corner of his lips raised to a smile. He closed his eye and moved his arm back to cover his eyes. That was it.664Please respect copyright.PENANAY13htyPXCT
664Please respect copyright.PENANAVZrDWwarkv
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAsb8buyb1hM
664Please respect copyright.PENANATH0l9G4MaZ
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.664Please respect copyright.PENANAKVvImEvuHG
664Please respect copyright.PENANAfbpZgnuQCu
"Is he awake?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAdcZLdXREFL
664Please respect copyright.PENANA1pLpEIVtlk
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."664Please respect copyright.PENANAqKYeUw8W2P
664Please respect copyright.PENANAWj6pzsbLkL
I looked at him and noticed a wide smile on his face. Okay...., didn't know what to make of it, so I quickly turned my attention back to Jongup's phone.664Please respect copyright.PENANAGlQXoomcio
664Please respect copyright.PENANAB35LmS7DKB
"Anyway, where was I?" Zoey asked as she paused to think a bit. I noticed that no one's willing to remind her. It's best not to.664Please respect copyright.PENANAnTsO1i9CXS
664Please respect copyright.PENANAJFXAE3D1WA
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAxPkEMrxh5U
664Please respect copyright.PENANAnB8iIJMb3q
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."664Please respect copyright.PENANA1fG5R3txYM
664Please respect copyright.PENANAzOPnpJrvDu
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.664Please respect copyright.PENANAUNQWPRJQTI
664Please respect copyright.PENANAwltIwiVfyU
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."664Please respect copyright.PENANANzrpwsigvw
664Please respect copyright.PENANAhikkXxStwY
"Mike started it," said Zoey.664Please respect copyright.PENANAf2mRDJ4rZN
664Please respect copyright.PENANAKPo0K1tOFN
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."664Please respect copyright.PENANA3DV5eHbgRv
664Please respect copyright.PENANATgfIOwOMo4
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."664Please respect copyright.PENANAHYyxIdyFDT
664Please respect copyright.PENANADhvJrv9mRg
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.664Please respect copyright.PENANAAh4mT5FGzd
664Please respect copyright.PENANAtmVkXWrusV
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."664Please respect copyright.PENANAygrvYtBojM
664Please respect copyright.PENANAygMOib276T
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."664Please respect copyright.PENANAtolO2Q92oD
664Please respect copyright.PENANAiHDZI7974q
After a while, all of us settled back to what we were doing. I was still watching videos with Jongup when I suddenly sat up from the floor. If I continued lying there, I would probably have a backache.664Please respect copyright.PENANA01UjLpAb2c
664Please respect copyright.PENANA611b2ojLAQ
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.664Please respect copyright.PENANATQ8oLzjBXM
664Please respect copyright.PENANAg1MWyapLsg
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.664Please respect copyright.PENANARvjzzeTYsL
664Please respect copyright.PENANActREHglaZg
He gave me a smile and went back to looking at his phone. I turned to look at everyone and almost all of them were either quietly resting or on their phones.664Please respect copyright.PENANAQ337CdHNUU
664Please respect copyright.PENANAtHKi78HGdO
I looked over at Yong-guk who was still seated at the console. I decided to go over and see how he's progressing with the song.664Please respect copyright.PENANAVQCKH7IklD
664Please respect copyright.PENANAhgdomkFIlL
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.664Please respect copyright.PENANAYXguatOXrI
664Please respect copyright.PENANASQcPIQtboU
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."664Please respect copyright.PENANAYV4vHgKEpN
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQT9UjlnGwO
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.664Please respect copyright.PENANAhztPoV6yOu
664Please respect copyright.PENANAPCpmt2aVbo
"Cat feet?"664Please respect copyright.PENANA7RhWrA2k5C
664Please respect copyright.PENANANmuvZ7EcwM
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."664Please respect copyright.PENANAQ32DSCmn9I
664Please respect copyright.PENANAZG2voMoUgy
"Oh, I see."664Please respect copyright.PENANAuUQo0hLZDz
664Please respect copyright.PENANAUO09loaJrw
"It's true, Yong-guk," Zoey said behind us. "So don't upset her or else she might come to your room and murder you."664Please respect copyright.PENANAG9PiZn8qrb
664Please respect copyright.PENANAMDhZGjorIB
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.664Please respect copyright.PENANAClBc3WjYZH
664Please respect copyright.PENANALE5ZS149B4
"Don't listen to her," I said as I turned to look at the console in front of me. "So, what are you really working on? I thought we were done and dusted with your song."664Please respect copyright.PENANA0xvTNN9cHG
664Please respect copyright.PENANAEotCQPhzwc
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.664Please respect copyright.PENANApiXRGodnFk
664Please respect copyright.PENANATJdXaL1WHI
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.664Please respect copyright.PENANAce2Id60b4m
664Please respect copyright.PENANAcgRlTsvOmS
"On your song," he answered.664Please respect copyright.PENANA4USNl0TwSW
664Please respect copyright.PENANAgnxll0KBHW
"Huh?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAwTx3d6A5xZ
664Please respect copyright.PENANAwTKfSAwVUR
"The tune you played earlier gave me a little inspiration to somehow come up with an instrumental. It's still not finished since I just started."664Please respect copyright.PENANAxQlrMElDtr
664Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ4zix0GL7
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.664Please respect copyright.PENANAIw6u1qMAzM
664Please respect copyright.PENANAoWjHPxOho2
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANAalPqYtjPDV
664Please respect copyright.PENANA6C2TRmlYzR
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAeNiDY9pRoP
664Please respect copyright.PENANAtU5pAy0DHY
"You spaced out for a bit. Is it a bad idea that I'm working on the instrumental? I know there will probably be someone working on it, but I thought I could do something, you know?"664Please respect copyright.PENANATQLJIOihGi
664Please respect copyright.PENANAOVXqKIiNkC
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.664Please respect copyright.PENANAwgGos7ua5C
664Please respect copyright.PENANA1QVaI7DoYR
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."664Please respect copyright.PENANAMBylJLfVlw
664Please respect copyright.PENANAmpptAaj8U4
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.664Please respect copyright.PENANAnpsVITgomG
664Please respect copyright.PENANA0Fh7QSPgwn
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."664Please respect copyright.PENANAQOyNff0BVL
664Please respect copyright.PENANAw239zQUruT
I noticed his cheeks start to redden a little and he quickly turned away. I continued to smile. I had this overwhelming feeling like I could hug him, but now isn't the time.664Please respect copyright.PENANAjGcRFC24XJ
664Please respect copyright.PENANAlngF6tuRqi
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANA88j3NWGLoF
664Please respect copyright.PENANAAVeGv9fGLb
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.664Please respect copyright.PENANABmD2O0fmkc
664Please respect copyright.PENANA5zj4i6wvP6
He showed me what he had done and even when the instrumental was short, it sounded great. He really did follow the tune and melody like I had done with the guitar. He also added a few beats into the mix making the song sound more like pop.664Please respect copyright.PENANAt6vFXvB87P
664Please respect copyright.PENANAwZdNS5AdGW
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."664Please respect copyright.PENANAajRED1axwO
664Please respect copyright.PENANAPuthmUOzLf
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."664Please respect copyright.PENANA4c3KDstxRR
664Please respect copyright.PENANAHX1JZLjpwD
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."664Please respect copyright.PENANA1D1jY9aIav
664Please respect copyright.PENANARc8J5WFWA4
"Dang it!" I heard him mutter. Yong-guk and I turned around to see him behind us. "How come my cat feet can't work on you?"664Please respect copyright.PENANA3CqfZommJ9
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXIQCfj5qpR
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."664Please respect copyright.PENANAboheNmiDWi
664Please respect copyright.PENANAbOXY3Bp0WO
"Anyway....," he came closer and placed his hands on my shoulder and Yong-guk's, "what is it that some of us have to listen to?"664Please respect copyright.PENANA3cVzrOrc11
664Please respect copyright.PENANAwjNT7r8QHl
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.664Please respect copyright.PENANAWbAFvE8TRh
664Please respect copyright.PENANAfbwrtBJ2lC
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAcgfpKg5XvD
664Please respect copyright.PENANA9aGyfazmym
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.664Please respect copyright.PENANA9f7bJCczk9
664Please respect copyright.PENANA3XWJ8iQYFz
"Wow! Really!" I saw Mike look at Yong-guk just like I did earlier, with so much awe. "This is what you were working on?"664Please respect copyright.PENANADGx2Um63pt
664Please respect copyright.PENANAR0oYXIY921
Yong-guk nodded his head. Mike almost screamed like a girl, but he tried not to be so loud. I couldn't help but chuckle. He looked like his five year old self when he got a remote control car for his birthday.664Please respect copyright.PENANAUm4DdRvcBo
664Please respect copyright.PENANAj5W9nXBvii
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."664Please respect copyright.PENANAAh0iyAKn1n
664Please respect copyright.PENANAVuROppb9lj
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."664Please respect copyright.PENANARxHpwWgV8u
664Please respect copyright.PENANAAXxaYHVGAq
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.664Please respect copyright.PENANACo3Z7YmxVn
664Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4gJxeVTa6
"Remember what I said," he said as he looked at me. "The way you played with the guitar inspired me to come up with this."664Please respect copyright.PENANAE8AnBqAnJI
664Please respect copyright.PENANAKdCXki0hIj
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.664Please respect copyright.PENANAAfLKlLwMzM
664Please respect copyright.PENANAMPurcTAJ2z
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"664Please respect copyright.PENANASMRXNI1ir6
664Please respect copyright.PENANANRqY8e2N8k
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."664Please respect copyright.PENANABDVIQPHDpn
664Please respect copyright.PENANAOdKYsiA1nj
"And probably come up with lyrics for the song," I said when it dawned on me. "That's why you wanted me to come and join you here by the console."664Please respect copyright.PENANAerjg4QER60
664Please respect copyright.PENANALRGUAXwIMC
"I see you've got what I intended to do." Yong-guk turned to look at me with a smile. Mike sat on his other side. "I thought working on the instrumental will give you some idea on lyrics for the song."664Please respect copyright.PENANAPhUCS7U0hd
664Please respect copyright.PENANAJphhYTKdj5
"We'll see," said Mike as he rubbed his hands together and looking at the console before him like a hot, tasty meal he couldn't wait to put in his mouth.664Please respect copyright.PENANAr3w9uDjneZ
664Please respect copyright.PENANAe0bQ8VCXZ0
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.664Please respect copyright.PENANA1nkOgtJ6F7
664Please respect copyright.PENANATOoKbg64GG
The three of us worked on the beats maker software on the laptop. With Mike's creativity and Yong-guk's producer skills, working on the instrumental was smooth and simple. We had no idea how long we had been working on it, but we had fun and joked around whenever we could.664Please respect copyright.PENANAi7ywscl8D2
664Please respect copyright.PENANAJkQdXGU9Gv
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.664Please respect copyright.PENANAgo9UCYdC6i
664Please respect copyright.PENANA9xDNOcUwhy
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.664Please respect copyright.PENANAl0iNxlgC3c
664Please respect copyright.PENANAchrpX4TeON
"Which one?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAQqshPYUmeU
664Please respect copyright.PENANAOqvlNMwFz5
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."664Please respect copyright.PENANAeohBmKD2Su
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXw5Eb34QSn
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."664Please respect copyright.PENANAUqpK85sF0Z
664Please respect copyright.PENANAN5DYj7TzsE
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."664Please respect copyright.PENANA1y5m9OQ2uY
664Please respect copyright.PENANACSUNlLZq2j
"How far have you gone doing so?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAhD9coT3pgb
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXm56laMHCn
"Not too far," Yong-guk answered. "We've only tried to work on the first part and heading to the chorus. But even that needs a lot of work."664Please respect copyright.PENANAZh5TGBYKXk
664Please respect copyright.PENANAa6m6HlJrnJ
"I agree," said Mike.664Please respect copyright.PENANACdQE6nq40x
664Please respect copyright.PENANArAdVWFK7Rv
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANA7ERlg6r4Y0
664Please respect copyright.PENANAu1jFe4Udk3
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.664Please respect copyright.PENANAEsysReO0ES
664Please respect copyright.PENANAy5hvJA5xQ8
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANAQE2vR1XT0X
664Please respect copyright.PENANAMpX48HPPnQ
"We need to seek permission to use this instrumental." I scratched the back of my head. "Goodness, why didn't I think about this before?"664Please respect copyright.PENANACZ09ma08ZV
664Please respect copyright.PENANA5AsVfhBpNK
"Oh, ya," Mike turned to look at me quickly. "Why can't you give Collins a call and tell him that we've someone helping us?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAqoZjuiLLhn
664Please respect copyright.PENANAe26LZCMmhk
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAv22YSpVf12
664Please respect copyright.PENANANprDd66Sc9
Mike and I stared at each other. We both winced like we had done something wrong and we would be in big trouble for it.664Please respect copyright.PENANA3JhsizDyqK
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQ40453pigk
"Gosh, the man is troubling," said Mike as he leaned back in his seat. "He can hunt you in your dreams if you think about him too much."664Please respect copyright.PENANAUdQL9bLtIK
664Please respect copyright.PENANAVPGjZUKHKW
"He's really strict," I said. "And he's also hard to impress. If we do play out the instrumental for him, would he really like it?"664Please respect copyright.PENANA4jYe6KiKl3
664Please respect copyright.PENANA13PPnhhbux
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."664Please respect copyright.PENANAt5KLgXnA2f
664Please respect copyright.PENANA4q7ZuIntT1
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.664Please respect copyright.PENANAG5JAv8fmFV
664Please respect copyright.PENANA3rpD7yZCWr
"Never mind that," I told them as I went back to looking at Mike. "I'm worried because Yong-guk is helping us produce this one. Will Yang Hyun-suk agree?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAeEtRATelCc
664Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZewlrQBqz
"As long as he knows you thought of it in the first place, he'll definitely agree." Mike leaned forward so as to look at me.664Please respect copyright.PENANAwsdilJrG3L
664Please respect copyright.PENANAwasY2liUDj
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAtl5EuhckAb
664Please respect copyright.PENANAnYUfMSc7PW
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."664Please respect copyright.PENANAfNGNf7mlsm
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQSEYTujTQg
I gave Mike a look. I don't consider myself as Yang Hyun-suk's favourite among The Toxins. I'm just afraid he won't approve.664Please respect copyright.PENANAfuqjLagaLN
664Please respect copyright.PENANA5x7dJydRiX
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAR2y6VpIlRG
664Please respect copyright.PENANAEjLtyivaAw
"I don't think we've to worry about that. Besides, even if he didn't offer to help, he seemed to do it out of his own free will, you know."664Please respect copyright.PENANALKPMgRdAV8
664Please respect copyright.PENANAGXlOyG4Iyr
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."664Please respect copyright.PENANAwJoL0PAVR5
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXYiqikgIxv
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.664Please respect copyright.PENANAMi9CWw7BuA
664Please respect copyright.PENANARUHgGURt8d
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."664Please respect copyright.PENANAGwzH8sXre4
664Please respect copyright.PENANAVfy5K2LiSu
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."664Please respect copyright.PENANA4EvwD54gFi
664Please respect copyright.PENANACf4WCpMCep
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.664Please respect copyright.PENANASyqLV5srjj
664Please respect copyright.PENANAt9uALSAkpN
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."664Please respect copyright.PENANACAuA4686cC
664Please respect copyright.PENANAMzgBTTxQus
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."664Please respect copyright.PENANAVQXGczZeQx
664Please respect copyright.PENANAOtgcVSgZWK
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.664Please respect copyright.PENANAKvDCotd2x9
664Please respect copyright.PENANAvmizvSKKKS
Mike burst out laughing that he leaned back further in his seat. "Stop trying to put up a serious face, Yong-guk," he said. "You look awfully funny."664Please respect copyright.PENANASmDTRv4vvs
664Please respect copyright.PENANAGuYnuaCawB
I couldn't help but agree with Mike as I also started laughing. I had to keep in mind that I had a phone call to make. I soon stood up from my seat.664Please respect copyright.PENANA3JAlzdXYmk
664Please respect copyright.PENANAt5mhI2GD0S
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."664Please respect copyright.PENANAgOspRn1hKe
664Please respect copyright.PENANAG0uSbfIZwR
I walked away from the others as I made my way to the door. I needed to be somewhere more private if I am to talk with Collins.664Please respect copyright.PENANAJQAtgK6uG7
664Please respect copyright.PENANAEMSZqRiOAt
I stepped out into the hall and looked both ways. There's nobody walking around. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and searched for Collins' number. I pressed the call button and placed the phone to my ear.664Please respect copyright.PENANACRMM4glGfJ
664Please respect copyright.PENANAe3MukwhqW1
His phone rang, and it kept on ringing. I grew worried that he might not answer. Maybe he's busy. He did say he would be occupied today. I better call him at a later time.664Please respect copyright.PENANAS56ifU2Bke
664Please respect copyright.PENANAqUYY35JBJV
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.664Please respect copyright.PENANAgfEWp6JFwY
664Please respect copyright.PENANAcaEN8NLscW
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAMcojHVrgyk
664Please respect copyright.PENANAcpsUkVYyhu
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.664Please respect copyright.PENANA3H5yMILQRF
664Please respect copyright.PENANAwTo7jhEJNK
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"664Please respect copyright.PENANA5vFuuPej6h
664Please respect copyright.PENANA8E4onnpMKA
"I see Lee told you about BAP."664Please respect copyright.PENANA6uttKQUieY
664Please respect copyright.PENANAKcEUmUq9vK
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"664Please respect copyright.PENANApKciX1AHbD
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXbhXIjBwTN
"Well, we were working on the song and we felt a little stuck. So we had help with coming up with the instrumental for the song."664Please respect copyright.PENANALcWmTvhccT
664Please respect copyright.PENANAqYyo24xEk3
"You're already coming up with that?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAGG4UTqrnTx
664Please respect copyright.PENANAyppo5kIIcN
I scratched the back of my head even more as I started to pace up and down in front of the door. "Well, ya. You see, Yong-guk - the leader of BAP - kind of got inspired to make us the instrumental because of the way I played it with the guitar. So we were wondering if it's okay with you that we use it for the song."664Please respect copyright.PENANAJgE5Rdbszc
664Please respect copyright.PENANAow7Im6WLzm
There was silence on the other end. I wonder what Collins must be thinking. He's a little unpredictable sometimes and he might not agree with it.664Please respect copyright.PENANAkWzZVUdWWM
664Please respect copyright.PENANAC4GeotQyHa
"Well," he started to say, "we would've to listen to it to see if it's actually good. The big problem is whether he should be working on it in the first place."664Please respect copyright.PENANAxGz5kP45kU
664Please respect copyright.PENANAPcjeV6uJFg
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.664Please respect copyright.PENANAMfsN0hDEOR
664Please respect copyright.PENANAlxr3iaLpTc
"I know, but he's really good. And besides, Mike and I are helping out too. You can be rest assured that it will be great."664Please respect copyright.PENANAjRlDKNhEC3
664Please respect copyright.PENANA4DoFg0LyMU
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."664Please respect copyright.PENANAl1m1m4zluH
664Please respect copyright.PENANAypIB3FtgjQ
"If you could talk to Yang Hyun-suk for me, I bet he would agree. Yong-guk is a great producer and he's reputation proves that otherwise."664Please respect copyright.PENANADp0C0CUOnS
664Please respect copyright.PENANAtpL3ef2Jw2
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."664Please respect copyright.PENANAIoFlMo8QAJ
664Please respect copyright.PENANAqmyyfpKYkb
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.664Please respect copyright.PENANA3i5PRHw1OS
664Please respect copyright.PENANAK2ewxgFtnx
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.664Please respect copyright.PENANAQoQcByWXLz
664Please respect copyright.PENANAWZyYuTFpBj
"Afternoon," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice. I could feel beads of sweet starting to form on my forehead. "I heard everything you had to say."664Please respect copyright.PENANAvwnWCFtzfk
664Please respect copyright.PENANAseTT4viX6A
"And what do you think?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAM2KYtWbeyR
664Please respect copyright.PENANA5UGknncNIX
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."664Please respect copyright.PENANAB3Ce7uZbKl
664Please respect copyright.PENANAC5dFlSe6Uj
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.664Please respect copyright.PENANApoHfMimEWY
664Please respect copyright.PENANAz3qu0uHwSD
"But," he continued, "we're talking about Bang Yong-guk, and he's reputation, like you've said, precedes him. If he does want to help out and you think he's the right producer for the job, then I've no objection to it. You can proceed with making the instrumental."664Please respect copyright.PENANAgv8ASj0Shy
664Please respect copyright.PENANArft69249LX
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.664Please respect copyright.PENANAaSRQxjgLMe
664Please respect copyright.PENANATawOue1xxt
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."664Please respect copyright.PENANAOlR2lDYr27
664Please respect copyright.PENANAPT80IrE1lr
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."664Please respect copyright.PENANAo1Kk5nfzqj
664Please respect copyright.PENANAP3Shwldx5x
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."664Please respect copyright.PENANAXCTNLCf9HD
664Please respect copyright.PENANA5yqYW0EDWr
"I will. Thank you once again."664Please respect copyright.PENANA4F4Sw2iLK3
664Please respect copyright.PENANA2Av4ShLE4R
The two managers wished me luck. As soon as the line cut, I punched the air with excitement. We're really doing this. I can't wait to tell the others.664Please respect copyright.PENANAHKVdao657K
664Please respect copyright.PENANACTCl0Kxvxu
I turned around and opened the door to the studio. As soon as I went in, I quickly rushed over to the others on the console.664Please respect copyright.PENANAO0MTgpY3gc
664Please respect copyright.PENANApug3ykc8pO
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.664Please respect copyright.PENANA2v649jTRZ7
664Please respect copyright.PENANAdxRFoNZeTZ
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.664Please respect copyright.PENANAPAJeKLlKy2
664Please respect copyright.PENANAYpcGrSMyPP
"What news?" asked Daniel who was still seated on the couch. His eyes left the phone as he looked at us who were by the console.664Please respect copyright.PENANAy0g0A0Gn0Z
664Please respect copyright.PENANAF3WhenN45Q
"They agreed," I answered.664Please respect copyright.PENANA6noDuVRYw2
664Please respect copyright.PENANAFsPwZzC37m
Himchan and Mike clapped, looking relieved. Yong-guk leaned back in his seat, looking cool and composed, but I could tell that he was just as happy as the three of us.664Please respect copyright.PENANANUP8iHYWOD
664Please respect copyright.PENANAtJZmrLu7ag
"Who agreed to what?" Daniel asked as he stood up from his couch to come over and join us. "I want to know what's going on."664Please respect copyright.PENANAIOlCVlcKU1
664Please respect copyright.PENANACnUidVJBB3
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.664Please respect copyright.PENANAfpCs4HGHRz
664Please respect copyright.PENANAFH54BJvtdl
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"664Please respect copyright.PENANA9WNkxBWrx0
664Please respect copyright.PENANAn1Nyhoi7DS
"A lot," I answered.664Please respect copyright.PENANAIHqLRt3ZhN
664Please respect copyright.PENANAOYQSFDOK3O
I told them what was going on and how I somehow managed to talk to the managers to go through with Yong-guk's instrumental.664Please respect copyright.PENANAa0AVgRoZYc
664Please respect copyright.PENANAxi0eKLEnht
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.664Please respect copyright.PENANAjzteGkTzAS
664Please respect copyright.PENANAk9ACbEYsom
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.664Please respect copyright.PENANAKAQIzqUXUZ
664Please respect copyright.PENANAPLNtuyHSpV
"No, they don't," I emphasised. "If they don't like the instrumental, we aren't going to use it. So it has to be perfect."664Please respect copyright.PENANAwAHMyG1BZU
664Please respect copyright.PENANABOZHlkw2z5
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."664Please respect copyright.PENANASohghLcS7U
664Please respect copyright.PENANAq84D3lTSEZ
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."664Please respect copyright.PENANAaDSETaD7BN
664Please respect copyright.PENANA2NdajRWgYS
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.664Please respect copyright.PENANAVd4q6gNSGM
664Please respect copyright.PENANAkLUcZCGAnP
"Well, you better work on those fast," said Yong-nam, who was now wide awake, but still laying on the floor. "You don't have much time."664Please respect copyright.PENANAUfxMT0MEpv
664Please respect copyright.PENANA8OX28nrStK
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."664Please respect copyright.PENANA80I5XBLuap
664Please respect copyright.PENANALHii7GRwi3
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.664Please respect copyright.PENANAZKWKNI8NOw
664Please respect copyright.PENANASZpL0cRgfV
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.664Please respect copyright.PENANAr6T0S0uxqD
664Please respect copyright.PENANA9TExpV0oCc
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.664Please respect copyright.PENANAepnSGfQoXv
664Please respect copyright.PENANAx9uXCugglm
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
